*doom music starts to play*
I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...
but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
Seriously, this is a tumblr-killer feature. This breaks the most fundamental way tumblr is different from any other social network. This makes tumblr just another blueskytwitterthreads. Or worse: An unfederated mastodon clone.
Please, mutuals, post about this, comment and reblog the original post (while you still can without making it your own quote-post). I don't know if staff is looking or if the feedback would matter, but seriously, this is a terrible change that would kill tumblr as we know it. Please, don't roll it out.
look, I can endure any kind of UI changes that are supposed to help tumblr-rookies to understand how this works. They may be a nuisance, but that's ok, we have x-kit or we can get used to buttons being here or there.
But this. This changes the data architecture. This changes the SINGLE THING that makes tumblr the "... yes and" website. This KILLS THE COLLABORATIVE POSTING THAT MAKES THIS SITE DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER MEDIA PLATFORMS.
I am beginning my ghoul arc. Teehee. Or should I say, at this point, I'm halfway through it.
Silliness out of the way, here's one of them health updates I've been putting off, mostly because I'm sick of this shit, and not because it's anything Super Serious™.
I thought I reached the end of this cancer journey when I didn't hear back from my oncologist for a couple of weeks. But I had a follow up at the end of the January, and found out prior to this appointment the cancer spread a little; it stuck its dirty finger into the cervix muscle just a little bit. They were confident they got all the affected bits (technical stuff for those interested: 44% of my uterus was affected by the cancer, and 16% of my cervix + muscle was affected. Cancer was stage 2, and a grade 2A.), but radiation treatment was recommended to make sure all the cells get terminated.
February 11th was my first treatment, and it involves daily drives to the Big City to get treatment. My dad has been a champ, and has driven me to p. much all these appointments, and practically insists when I say I'm good to drive myself. A couple of co-workers have joined me for the journey as well, and we've turned it into a lunch date. So far, I've attended one of these appointments solo.
I have to go for 25 zaps, and am currently on 14/25, so finally hit that halfway point, yay!
Side effects? I'm starting to feel them. My pelvis is getting zapped, so.. yeah. Ain't gonna get into that, haha.
This week has been trying. Oh yeah, the 'fun' stuff about this radiation shit is I got to keep my ovaries and escape early menopause! Guess what's gonna kill them, though 🫠
So maybe that's partially why things are getting to me. Ovary death has begun, and I'm feeling the emotional effects. But due to some shit I won't get into here, I lost out on a potential large sum of $$ when $$ has been tight, and is only going to get tighter because I'm on EI for the next 2 months. Yay 🙃
Kinda dealing with $$ worries, some stuff I fucked up on that might cost me more $$, a bank appointment this Friday that could help a lot if I qualify - but the fear that I won't, and struggling to find that motivation to do art. Kinda hard to take some potential commission work, to bring in some extra $$, when making art has been a struggle + the dumb brain effects it has on me when this happens. big sigh.
So yeah, this week especially has been kinda rough: with health stuff + what these rad' treatments involve, money stuff, and my brain being mean about stuff I did, and didn't do. I just wanna sleep for a day or two, and with the radiation fatigue going on, I probably easily could!
Positive stuff: Surgery recovery went smoothly. Healed up fine. Got one of them mystery-color-by-number coloring books that's helping take my mind off shit, had a good birthday, met some cool people and got back into RP. Yay :3
